i'm going to be here longer than president obama, and i care about that time. i think the conversation is starting and it feels like we're at 2007 not 2013. there was a huge failure in copenhagen to get a global accord. that set america back several years. we're starting now to have the type of conversations that countries had in the late 2000. australia, my home country passed a comprehensive carbon package that seems to be slowly welcomed by the public. but the start is just as important as the end. as long as we start the conversation. as a journalist i've got a job to do. >> michael: that's important. tell me one more dog whistle. we didn't hear the word "keystone" the other night. what is the role of keystone? is it a bargaining chip or the president may not even support the keystone pipeline. >> i don't know. this is going to be an interesting year with the new secretary of state who will be ultimately the one who signs off on this. this is going beyond state- state-foreign borders. so john kerry's role is going to be interesting. obama, there is very lit

he was denied it again so he couldn't stand barack obama and can't stand anyone that barack obama nominates. and the surge was something that was his. i think that almost in a way john mccain made the surge into the war as john mccain would have fought it as commander-in-chief, and anyone who questions it gets the wrath of mccain. and i watched that hearing or that part of the hearing with colonel jack jacobs and patrick murphy, the former congressman of pennsylvania that served in iraq. both of those guys have been at the bottom of the pile, as jack jacobs calls it, like hagel and mccain, you just view war differently. but the lesson these two men took from vietnam seems to be so different. hagel took the questioning, the same thing patrick murphy feels, being lied to and knowing that anger that your friends died for what you believe to be a lie. mccain seems to have taken something different from it. >> we're all different. here is chuck hagel in vietnam back in '68 when he went in. he was an enlisted soldier and rose to sergeant. a noncommissioned officer with the infantry, a grunt as th

this is an important moment for obama. he's got a lot on his plate. there's gun control. he has to make a very important case for his gun control proposals. immigration is in trouble, i believe in this town. he's got to make a very forceful case for immigration. he's got to most of all perhaps make a very strong occasion for his position on the upcoming sequestration site and budget cuts. the republicans are positioning so that they're going to try to blame obama if sequestration takes effect and those cuts take effect and obama's going to have to say no, here's my position and here's why you, american voters, should support it. he's got to talk about jobs and the middle class and growth for the american country. there's a lot. >> he does have a big list. thanks for going through that with us. when we see the president tomorrow we're going to see all of what you just mentioned. i think the things that are sexiest to america right now are guns and sequestration. the guns are sexiest to washington. we really appreciate your in sights, again. michael tomasky newsweek and the

host: president obama speaking yesterday. bloomberg government has a sequestration powerbroker monitor. what have you learned from this? guest: they have been tracking what brokers say, whether they sound optimistic or pessimistic about a deal. they look at the administration, congressional democrats and republicans and the business community, and you will see that the business -- the administration has sounded the most optimistic, like a deal could happen. that would be next in line at this point. congressional democrats really in the last week, in terms of how likely that think we are going to get to a deal. we have been hearing for some time from congressional republicans to have been pessimistic for some time. it comes on the eve of congressional democrats actually having a vote. senate democrats have a proposal that they are going to be voting on next week that would replace the sequester. clearly some evidence that they don't necessarily think the deal they have come of with is going to go through. the sticking point, 5

kerry's job i think will be to serve obama's legacy, and he is going to have to work within an obama system that four years in is fairly well defined. the big issues are run out of the white house. they're run by a small group of people around the president, but it will be interesting to see how kerry changes the mix a bit. for example, you were just talking about hillary clinton and women's issues. kerry has been a leader on climate issues. will he be able to tip the scales a little bit in that direction and actually build on what the president said in his inaugural address about making climate a priority? >> kerry has said he wants to focus on the middle east, and that has been a deficit in terms of the israeli-palestinian track. certainly, i mean, the arab spring made it much more difficult, much more complicated, but some would argue made it more necessary. >> well, yeah. the middle east is also one of the drains that can suck all the oxygen out of the room. you know, you could get involved in it and get sucked down all these different kind of rabbit holes that exist in the middl
